The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

In a somewhat dilapidated old house in a typical residential community called City Garden near Jinlan Bay, Ye Linyuan tended to his wounds while pondering who had kidnapped him this time.

Speaking of which, he was really fortunate to have obtained the universal antidote from the sign-in event a while ago. He used the universal antidote immediately after being injected with the drug, which helped him regain his senses.

This allowed him to take advantage of the moment when the kidnappers were relaxed after tying him to the car, successfully dealing with the two kidnappers and escaping.

If it weren't for the kidnapper's accomplice arriving at the crucial moment, and the fact that the newcomer had a gun, he might have already killed them and handed the kidnapper over to the police station.

This time it was truly a narrow escape from death. It was countless times more dangerous than the kidnapping I experienced when I was a child. At least the kidnapping I experienced when I was a child didn't involve guns, which are practically considered a cardinal sin in China!

"Young man, your back wound is still bleeding profusely. Should we take you to the nearest hospital to get it treated?"

Just as Ye Linyuan was pondering, the door opened and Wang Fang walked in with iodine solution, looking distressed.

Ye Linyuan looked up at him and shook his head.

"Aunt Wang, no need. The wound on my back only looks scary. It's just a bullet graze. It's nothing serious. Don't worry. I can't go to the hospital now. Who knows if the other party will be waiting for me there and ambushing me?"

Wang Fang sighed, nodded to show her understanding, but still spoke with some concern.

"But young man, your wound is still bleeding. This won't do. I don't know how to treat wounds like this. What if you get tetanus or something? How about this, I remember there's a little girl in this building who studies at a medical university. She should know how to treat wounds. I'll ask her to help you treat your wound."

Ye Linyuan looked at the hideous wound on his back through the mirror, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Although I have already taken the Penglai Pill, its main function is to treat internal injuries. While it may have some effect on external injuries, it is definitely not effective.

If someone could treat my wound at this time, that would be wonderful.

Unfortunately, I haven't drawn a similar skill yet, otherwise I could have taught Wang Fang how to treat my wounds.

Although my own traditional Chinese medicine is advanced, the traditional Chinese medicine in this world is not like the martial arts novels where you can stop bleeding by pressing acupoints.

As for preparing something like wound medicine, putting aside the sheer trouble of making it, even if I wrote the prescription for Wang Fang, it's already past midnight. Even if some traditional Chinese medicine shops are still open, by the time this stuff is made, I'll probably have bled to death...

In some respects, for external injuries, Western medicine's method of suturing wounds is indeed the most suitable...

"Aunt Wang, thank you so much. I will definitely repay you after I have resolved this matter."

Wang Fang shook her head.

"Young man, what are you saying? If it weren't for you and Miss Su recommending Auntie to the Su Group and the Ye Group, Auntie's family wouldn't have become a fruit supplier for the Su Group and the Ye Group, nor would we have received the deposit from them, and Yueyue's medical expenses wouldn't have been raised so quickly."

"It was actually the young man and Miss Su who helped our family a lot."

Ye Linyuan never expected that his kindness a couple of days ago would save his life today!

That's right, this Wang Fang is the middle-aged woman who mistook him and An Wangshu for father and daughter at the vegetable market in Jinlan Bay a couple of days ago.

He shook his head at Wang Fang's gratitude, not feeling that the help he gave to Wang Fang's family was equal to the help they gave him.

While they couldn't be said to have saved his life, they were close. Without their help, he wouldn't have died—after all, there was always a substitute doll—but he would have certainly suffered.

Without their help, I would have had to resort to some particularly harsh methods in traditional Chinese medicine to stop the bleeding, such as using wood ash to stop the bleeding. I can imagine how painful that method must have been. All I did was provide them with a channel to sell their products.

This truly is a cycle of cause and effect; good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring evil consequences.

However, on the other hand, although he didn't know what deep hatred the kidnapper had for him or the Ye family, there was no doubt that he couldn't show himself or contact his family using the existing methods of communication until the kidnapper was caught.

Especially the information about the kidnappers' accomplices that had been previously investigated.

The thought of the information Ye Linyuan had gleaned through his detection technique during their close-quarters combat made him uneasy.

Dragon King Palace...

Although the name sounds incredibly childish, in the novels I read in my previous life, which of the factions called Dragon King Palace wasn't so powerful that they spanned the entire globe?

With an organization of this caliber, who knows if they have any means to monitor his contact information!

Although Ye Linyuan didn't think that the Dragon King's Palace in the Dragon Kingdom could have such great power, after all, the iron fist of the socialist autocracy in the Dragon Kingdom was no joke, and it was difficult for criminal gangs to survive on this land, it was better to be safe than sorry, so it was better to take precautions.

Fortunately, Wang Fang has now made contact with the Ye Group. When Wang Fang delivers fruit to the group tomorrow, I can ask her to pass on a message to my older sister, which will provide another way to contact the family.

As long as we can make contact, we can find a way to set a trap for the other party.

What's wrong with the Dragon King's Palace? He simply doesn't believe that the Dragon King's Palace can be compared to the state apparatus!

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan spoke to Wang Fang.

"Auntie, I'm begging you for help tomorrow. If my older sister doesn't believe me, just tell her that when I was little, I once put an uneaten tomato under the cushion of my ergonomic chair in my room. When she sat down, the tomato juice sprayed out and splattered all over her legs."

"If you still don't believe me, then Auntie, you can tell her again that once when I was angry with her, I grabbed a toad and threw it into her bathroom. She was taking a shower and screamed so loudly that she ran out of the bathroom without even wearing her clothes."

"If you still don't believe this, then tell her again..."

Ye Linyuan then recounted several anecdotes from his childhood with his older sister, Ye Qingyan, which made Wang Fang's lips twitch.

She had always thought this young man was a well-behaved child, but she never expected him to be so mischievous as a child.

Thank goodness, she had a daughter, a quiet and sweet little girl. If it had been a mischievous little boy...

Hmm, a little boy doesn't seem like a bad option either...

"Alright, alright, Auntie understands. With so many things to do, I'm sure your sister will trust me. I'll go get someone to help you treat your wound. You should rest for a bit."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Aunt Wang."

After Wang Fang left, Ye Linyuan promptly used Wang Fang's phone to search for whether the events of that night had been leaked.

Just as he expected, although there were undercurrents in Haicheng, things appeared calm on the surface, and there was not a single piece of news on the internet related to his kidnapping.

In this situation, it's highly likely that the Ye family suppressed the matter, which he believed was a helpless move by his father and sisters to avoid provoking the kidnappers.

I don't know if anything happened to the rest of my family...

Knock knock knock—

A knock on the door interrupted Ye Linyuan's thoughts.

"Please come in."

Ye Linyuan casually straightened his clothes to avoid looking disheveled, and said in a deep voice.

The next moment, the door opened, and a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of Ye Linyuan.

Upon seeing that face, Ye Linyuan was completely stunned!
